Synopsis

[address1[,address2]]p

Print the addressed line(s). Note that this can result in duplicate output unless default output is suppressed by using #n or the -n command-line option. Typically used before commands that change control flow (d, n, b), which might prevent the current line from being output. See the Examples under h, n, and N.
